Slow File Extracting with Vista?
 

I seem to be having a problem extracting the files from the UI. I will extract the files, but it does it at an intensly and painfully slow rate, we're talkin 1hr to just extract the files for the UI. Now I never had the same problem while I was using Windows XP, but after this reformat to Vista, it's just horribly slow, lol.

Soooo.... I was hoping that someone out there might know more about this situation and be able to give me a pointer or two as to why this is happening/how I can fix this problem.

Go back to XP

Vista is to much eye candy and not enough performance in my opinion
you need latest spec pc, 3-4 gig mem quad proc' etc to get it to move at any
decent speed.
Alhough it shoudnt take that long to unzip, unless you have a older system with 1gig of mem.

defragging may help, but new hd.s are that fast that it prob wont make much difference.

Go back to XP, I did, and havnt regretted it one bit.
There will be a day when Vista is a must as xp was when win98 got the boot.
But till that day, XP stays.

Just my thoughts >>puts flameproof jacket on<<

possibly your virus scanner?

uninstall norton or mcaffee and try avg. :p

Unfortunately I'm not using Vista by choice, only thing I have for the moment, and as for Norton, had too many issues with it in the passed and am actually using AVG right now, lol.

When I was running on XP though I wasn't using AVG or Norton, may try tinkering around see what I can dig up.

If anyone has more influence with Vista that might wanna know, I'm still all ears. =)

(as far as defrag/ram/etc goes, all green there, just really getting the feeling that it's security bs that I'd have to toggle through, just not sure where to start)

You are not unzinping to a comp on your local network are you? I've never had any issue with vista other then slow performance transferring files over my local network.

Nah, just extracting the files to the EQ2 folder as noted in the readme.txt, which isn't in a shared folder.

to speed up the file transfer in vista.. you right click the zip.. click properties.. then at the bottom is a security button that says "unblock" click that and you will be back to normal speeds..
